And We’re Off
During my five or so days actually on the job here at The Oklahoman I have covered such a wide array of events and news ranging from a pharmacist who killed a man, a reopening of a historic cafe on Route 66, swim parks, and farmers markets. Today I am shooting my first Minor League baseball game. On Thursday I travel to southwest Oklahoma to search and shoot wheat harvesters and over the weekend I get to shoot the three-day Red Earth Festival in downtown Oklahoma City.
Something that interested me in The Oklahoman from the get-go was its ability to cover hard news and national news, but also keep the small town paper vibe alive by covering events that make Oklahoma, well, Oklahoma- the day to day people that keep the state alive and full of culture. And in my week as a photographer here I have been able to do just that. The photo department, my editor, my mentors, and my fellow photographers, as well as many other writers and staff members I have met, have all been so willing to help me out, give me advice, tell me some “hip” spots to see in OKC, and just chat with me during downtime. I feel very welcome here. I can’t wait to share more of my on-the- field stories as this internship starts swinging into full gear.
